Newton Spectral analysis of multidimensional NMR data useful for complex mixtures. Newton implements a Fast Maximum Likelihood Reconstruction (FMLR) of NMR spectra from spectral deconvolution of raw data that constructs the simplest time-domain model whose fourier processed spectrum most closely matches the spectrum of the identically processed FID. PUBLICATION
NMRbot High throughput data acquisition for Bruker NMR spectrometers running Topspin >2.0, fitted with ATM and SampleJet hardware accessories. PUBLICATION
NMRFAM-SPARKY Note:  It is recommended to use NMRbox for NMRFAM-SPARKY which resolves compatibility issues compared to running locally.

SPARKY supports user-defined enhancements, and we have used these to develop new tools in support of our packages for automated protein assignment and structure determination. The added features support (1) interfacing with servers offering new technologies, (2) tools for data visualization and verification, and (3) new protocols for maximizing the efficiency of NMR data analysis.

NMRFAM Virtual Machine

The Integrative NMR VM

Ubuntu Mate based Virtual Machine (VM) with pre-installed the latest versions of NMRFAM-Sparky, PyMOL, PONDEROSA-C/S packages.

A VM is an emulation of a computer operating system that can be installed and run on any different operating system. NMRFAM’s VM runs the Linux operating system Ubuntu. To run this on your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer, you will need to install VirtualBox (a virtualization software package from Oracle, freely available at www.virtualbox.org). You MUST have administrative privileges to install VirtualBox on your computer. For PCs, VirtualBox requires the enabling of virtualization in the BIOS.
